Document background
The Company Secretary Engagement Letter is a crucial document used when appointing a company secretary in Ireland, whether an individual professional or a corporate service provider. It is required whenever a company engages a new company secretary, as mandated by the Companies Act 2014, which requires every company registered in Ireland to have a company secretary. The document serves to clearly define the relationship between the company and the company secretary, outlining specific duties, responsibilities, and service terms. It includes details about statutory compliance requirements, corporate governance obligations, administrative duties, professional fees, and terms of engagement. This document is particularly important as it establishes the framework for ensuring proper corporate governance and compliance with Irish company law.
